Open Seaway

November 7, 1985

THOROLD, ONTARIO — The St. Lawrence Seaway was scheduled to reopen early today after workers Wednesday completed repairs to a damaged lock that tied up shipping traffic since Oct. 14. Shippers lost millions of dollars at the peak period of navigation on the seaway. About 130 ships are waiting to move through the 26- mile-long canal. The first ship passage was expected at about midnight Wednesday. ''Things look pretty good,'' a seaway spokesman said.
